POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 22

Featured Replies

 

It's called Fremantle putting the cue in the rack and desperately trying to avoid any injuries.

Don't entirely agree. Finals beckon, and there were quite a few Freeo players need to establish/consolidate their positions.

pretty much exactly as I predicted, demolished early, game over, opposition stops playing, we level it up a little bit.. 4 weeks in a row this has happened

pathetic Melbourne

 

At quarter time, would definitely have taken that. Battled manfully - well, most of them. Considering that we were missing most of our first-choice midfield for most of the game (Jones, Tyson, Brayshaw) kind of did OK. Good to see a few of the younger players starting to show glimpses. Billy Stretch has what it takes, not only knows how to get it, but knows how to use it. Add him to the list of positives for the season(s) ahead. Gawn continued on in the right direction as well.

But.

Skills skills skills. Absolutely killing us. Never going to get anywhere when we can't keep possession or hit targets.

Would love to see the "goals from turnovers" stat - there were 3 in the last quarter alone.

10 touches at 80%. Really? Barely noticed him today. NQR in my opinion.

Correct, Fremantle could have put the foot down.

yep

one-third of the way in it was 10 goals to zip, couldabeen 30 zip by the end if they really wanted

 

Rich?

Woops. I was thinking Lionel Richie Jumbo, who's actually a better kick.


Gives us some hope against GWS I would have thought.

At first I thought no Jones we are going to be smashed. But I think a few stepped up which seems to be the case when you loose your top player. Think we could be in for a ripper next week with no Jones.

Who was playing on Danyle Pearce by the way?

That's the second time this year that he's killed us.

must have been Garland

We're a chance against GWS.

At Etihad, after a months worth of these performances?


How about Cross though? 39 fookin touches.

Isn't that the saddest part of all?

Well done Cross. I wish everyone else tried that hard.

At Etihad, after a months worth of these performances?

Well, I'm banking on all the boys thinking about the upcoming pot and parma nights....

Gawn was excellent. 30 hitouts against Sandi, 10 marks and a heap of the ball and most importantly looked like he ran the game out well in the last quarter without Spencer to help him out in hot conditions. Max is going to be a huge asset going forward.

We're a chance against GWS.

What are you drinking Jumbo

We will lose it big time

Funnily enough Jumbo, I come away from this match feeling a little better about the young talent on the list. Salem will be something for starters.

NQR? He's played 10 games!

Yep not quite ready.

Yep not quite ready.

Well that's not what NQR is usually used for.

I agree though, he's not ready, but the way this season has panned out it's only a good thing that he's been exposed to what's required at AFL level 10 times, maybe 11 with next week too.

I think we're a chance, jack....

And, RTG, I agree, Salem is amazing.

My Bad I have always thought that's what it meant. You youngsters with your acronyms. Will get us older folk into trouble thru misunderstanding. Now I have to wonder what other ones I have misinterpreted or worse misused.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
